The panel-data regression models are frequently applied to micro-level data, which often suffer from data contamination, erroneous observations, or unobserved heterogeneity. Despite the adverse effects of outliers on classical estimation methods, there are only a few robust estimation methods...

High breakdown-point regression estimators protect against large errors and data contamination. We adapt and generalize the concept of trimming used by many of these robust estimators so that it can be employed in the context of the generalized method of moments. The proposed generalized method...

High breakdown-point regression estimators protect against large errors and data con- tamination. We generalize the concept of trimming used by many of these robust estima- tors, such as the least trimmed squares and maximum trimmed likelihood, and propose a general trimmed estimator, which...

The binary-choice regression models such as probit and logit are used to describe the effect of explanatory variables on a binary response vari- able. Typically estimated by the maximum likelihood method, estimates are very sensitive to deviations from a model, such as heteroscedastic- ity and...

High breakdown-point regression estimators protect against large errors and data con- tamination. Motivated by some { the least trimmed squares and maximum trimmed like- lihood estimators { we propose a general trimmed estimator, which unifies and extends many existing robust procedures. We...

The binary-choice regression models such as probit and logit are typically estimated by the maximum likelihood method.To improve its robustness, various M-estimation based procedures were proposed, which however require bias corrections to achieve consistency and their resistance to outliers is...

This paper extends an existing outlier-robust estimator of linear dynamic panel data models with fixed effects, which is based on the median ratio of two consecutive pairs of first-differenced data. To improve its precision and robust properties, a general procedure based on many pairwise...

Classical parametric estimation methods applied to nonlinear regression and limited-dependent-variable models are very sensitive to misspecification and data errors. This sensitivity is addressed by the theory of robust statistics which builds upon parametric specification, but provides...
